You're never too old to learn.

Yes, I have reached the age where I only need one video.
If you can keep your head while those about you are losing theirs, perhaps you don't understand the situation.

In my experience a lot of people get too old to want to learn though

I was born in 1945. I spent this morning learning LINQ, I am currently learning some very basic Hebrew, and have a list of other things that I still want to learn.

מגניב!

Perhaps it's not so much an age thing, but a mentality thing.
And not many people like learning at all when they can spend their evenings in front of the television
My parents both picked up studies at the Open University and they're well in their 50's and 60's.

I'm in my 60s and I'm still programming and learning new stuff every day. Once I no longer find that interesting I shall stop!

Yes, how many of us remember programming on and for those old mainframes?

Somewhat the same here ... in my 60's, but learning new things about once a week. The rate has slowed as my employer is doing away with custom code.

Age has nothing to do with it. I know a lot of younger people who don't want to learn.

Oh fer gawd's sake... Smart mattress lets you know if your partner is cheating[^]
Quote: the jealous app user will be able to see in real time what parts of the bed are seeing the most activity, giving him or her a mental picture of exactly what their partner is up to.
There is a mental image for you...
"Darling, why is the new mattress plugged into the mains?"

Great idea, except...
The alleged cheated partner has to get permission by both the alleged cheating partner and his/hers alleged side-partner or else it isn't GDPA compliant and any evidence gathered will not be usable in court.
However, asking for permission may warn the partner that something might be up.
Of course if the partner and the side-partner are both pretty chill they'd give permission and this mattress will be great.

Hell's bells!
If you feel that way about your partner, just get a divorce -- you'll be doing them a big favour.

If you don't trust your partner you're in the wrong relationship.
